Design Your Own Framework of Study

Direction: Design your own conceptual framework based on your statement of the
problem. Include also a written explanation describing the interplay of variables. Start with
the text description of the variables followed by the schematic diagram. Write your answer
on the space provided.

Critique on the Definition of Terms

Direction: Critique on the sample definition of terms below through answering the given
questions.

Definition of Terms

The following terms were defined operationally or conceptually to provide better

understanding of the study:
Academic Performance. It refers to the scores of the students in control and experimental
group in the pre-test and post-test.
Computer-aided Instruction (CAI). It encompasses a broad range of computer
technologies that supplement the classroom learning environment and can dramatically increase a
science student’s access to information.
Conventional Method. This refers to the strategy that was applied and used in teaching
Physical science in the control group particularly in conducting the experiments. They used the real
laboratory apparatus in conducting experiments. Instruction was based on the DepEd curriculum
guide.
Physics Education Technology (PhET). It is an interactive simulation application that was
used by the experimental group in conducting the experiments to employ discovery approach
without using a real laboratory apparatus.
Simulation. This refers to the PhET Interactive Simulation in which it provides the students
an opportunity to perform the experiment in a set-up that looks like the actual set-up.

Definition of terms can be defined either operationally or conceptually. Conceptual

definition defines terms using the other authors meaning of the given words. Operational
definition defines terms on how the terms are being used in your study.

Evaluation: Conduct a weekly test.

Weekly Test
Direction: Multiple Choice: Read each statement carefully. Choose and encircle
the letter of the correct answer among the given choices.

1. Which of the following describes a conceptual framework?

A. a graphical presentation of the components of your research
B. It consists of diagram and text shows the interplay or relationships of variables of
your study
C. It is a graph specifically a schematic diagram that shows well-ordered elements of
research.
D. All of the above
2. From the given conceptual framework below, how are you going to validate whether it is
correct?

A. Review your research questions

B. Read your background of the study
C. Revisit your Review of Related Literature
D. Understand your definition of terms
3. How are you going to arrange the words/terms to be defined under the definition of
terms section of your research paper?
A. It depends on the writer’s preference
B. The terms should be arranged alphabetically
C. Based on the order of their appearance on the body of the paper
D. According to the frequency of the terms appear on the body of paper
4. What is the definition of terms?
A. Part of research paper that contains the significance of result
B. Section of a research paper that specifies the purpose of the study
C. Part of research paper that explains the coverage and limitations of the study
D. Section of a research paper that contains the meaning of the important variables in
your study.
5. In your research study, definition of terms section should be included. Why is there a
need to define the terms used in your study?
I- Because some words might have different meaning in different context
II- So that readers can fully understand how the term is used in the study
III- Because it serves as a compass in writing the result of the study
IV- Because some readers are not familiar with the term used in the study

A. I, II only c. I,II & III

B. I, II & IV d. I, II, III & IV
